Originally the Kenyan gov were taking 22% - but this is from the last RNS '· Tullow retains a back-in right for a 30% participation (before Government back-in) in potential future development phases at no cost.
It influences the time factor and - if we go through a period of very low oil prices then more of the 500m plus barrels of oil get consumed to pay their expenses.
